We're dividing 242138 by 47 
We want to figure out the number of times 242138 can be divided by 47.

On to step 1:
If we divide 2 by 47, we get 0 and a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 24 / 47

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 24 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 24.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 24 to get 24.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 24 and continue with: 242 / 47

Moving on to step 3:
242 divided by 47 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 235 from 242 to get 7.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 7, then repeat: 71 / 47

Advancing to step 4:
If we divide 71 by 47, we get 1 and a remainder of 24.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 51.0
Subtracting 47 from 71 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (3) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 243 / 47

Step 5:
If we divide 243 by 47, we get 5 and a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 515.0
Subtract 235 from 243 to get 8.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 88 / 47

Moving on to step 6:
47 can be fit into 88 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 41.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5151.0
Deduct 47 from 88 and we're left with 41.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 410, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
47 can be fit into 410 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 34.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5151.8
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 376 from 410.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 47 fits into 340 7 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5151.87
The remainder is 11 after subtracting 329 from 340.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 47 fits into 110 2 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5151.872
Subtracting 94 from 110 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 160 by 47, we get 3 with a remainder of 19.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 5151.8723
Deduct 141 from 160 and we're left with 19.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 190, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
The number 47 fits into 190 4 times, leaving a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5151.87234
If we subtract 188 from 190, we get 2.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 20, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
20 divided by 47 is 0 with a remainder of 20.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5151.87234
If we subtract 0 from 20, we get 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 13:
When dividing 200 by 47, we get 4 with a remainder of 12.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 5151.8723404
Subtracting 188 from 200 leaves us with 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
When dividing 120 by 47, we get 2 with a remainder of 26.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5151.87234042
Subtracting 94 from 120 leaves us with 26.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 260, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 5151.87234042 with a balance of 2.6e-08.
